KUALA SELANGOR, March 21 — Economic Affairs Minister Rafizi Ramli today said that the Anwar government is against implementing populist policies as it would severely harm the investment capital of the Employees Provident Fund . He said he is confident that Malaysians will realise that the government will not make decisions just to be popular.
“No populist move. We have gone through the administration phase and would not make a decision to get clicks on TikTok and Facebook and that's how we feel right now. “So with the majority we have, with the mandate we have, I am sure within five years they will understand that the decision, even if there is great pressure from the people, it is for the good of the country and that effect will be appreciated by people from one month to the next,” he said in a news conference after launching the first vending machine under People’s Income Initiative at UiTM Puncak Alam here.
